What was the original XBox like?

Boomillennial here, it was like skydiving into an ocean of green gelatin with no clothes on, and everyone else was there too but they didn't laugh at your penis this time because it wasn't too cold.

zoomer here. there was game with robot.

Silent generation here, what the fuck is an Xbox

>>724024218 (OP)
you play the halo splitscreen
you finally get a router and plug an ethernet into it and play halo 2 online
you play the san andreas
you buy the 360 and put it away

30 year old boomer here. you played halo and halo 2 on it until the 360 came out

>>724024218 (OP)
it was based

>>724024218 (OP)
pretty good.
it was the Dreamcast 2.

>>724024619
You played so much more, anyone saying otherwise didn't have one.

>>724024740
I remember playing crimson skies and crash bandicoot. That's about it outside of halo.

HEUG AND LOUD

>>724024457
for me it's
>you play the mechassault 1 and 2
>you play the battlefront, battlefront 2, star wars episode 3 and lego star wars
>you play the cod finest hour + cod 2 big red one
and then you move to other consoles and PC because it's 2006

You felt cool when you played on an Xbox because it was significantly more powerful than the PS2 and Gamecube so sometimes it got PC ports the other didn't like DOOM 3, Half-Life 2 and Morrowind. It was the closest you could get to feeling like you were gaming on PC without actually gaming on PC, sort of the like the Neo Geo I guess but not quite as fancy. Having a harddrive and Xbox Live felt very cutting edge

>Munch's Oddysee
>Max Payne
>Halo 1 coop with dad
>Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance coop with sister
>Gigantic controller that made you feel like a king

Kinoest of consoles. Never getting anything like it again.

Big controller with black and white buttons.

We have such sights to show you.

It was the only Xbox that got a decent library for its entire lifespan (the 360 stopped getting games midway through), but it still deserves scorn for introducing the cancers that are paid online and paid DLC, and for replacing Sega.

>>724024740
Is that the latest version of uix? looks slick

>>724025101
I missed out on the entire library for sure. Being a child with zero dollars in income will do that to you

>>724024218 (OP)
It was like fucking your mom doggystyle, but with an early 00s vibe

no one ever owned an xbox

>>724025314
then what the fuck is this big green box i have?

I owned one but didn’t have many games, I got it after PS2 and eventually transitioned fully to PC gaming with WC3 and Neverwinter Nights

It had some good games but the controller was too big, Xbox hueg

Pretty fucking cool when it first came out lot of cool exclusives

>>724025445
if you still have it you can get a s controller or one of those adapters that let you use a 360 controller on it

>>724025524
Looks like panzer dragoon my mama loved that game, so hard as a kid but so fun

>>724024218 (OP)
That was the peak of gaming. Nothing like getting together with your friends on a Saturday night, renting a few movies, ordering a pizza, smoking a few bowls and playing Halo splitscreen.

>>724024218 (OP)
Still a Dino Crisis 3 virgin?

>>724024218 (OP)
it's like kissing boys >w<

>>724025831
at least that one build leaked

>>724024471
As a 14 year old the Duke controller was oversized but I didn't care and would swear on my life that it was comfortable and the s controller was for babies.
>>724024218 (OP)
Mech assault
Ninja Gaiden Black
Halo 1 and 2
Fable TLC
Conker
Far Cry Instincts
3 GTA games
3 DOA game plus Extreme BV
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
MGS2
More Star Wars games than I can count
Even the guilty pleasure of Deus Ex: Invisible War
and played DVDs
I lived a block away from a vhq video rental store, $5 for 3 day game rental. It was like every weekend was a steam sale.

I had to replace mine twice. Granted, I smoked in the same room.

The D-Pad was shit for fighting games like Deadly Alliance.

Multiplats were usually best on the Xbox. Hitman 2, Burnout, Conflict: Desert Storm, etc.

You got some Dreamcast ports. I thought Shenmue 2 was fucking rubbish, but I did enjoy Panzer Dragoon.

Exclusives were cool but not great in number, and some of them were disappointing. Fable and Escape From Butcher Bay turned out to be very short and shallow. Brute Force was hyped but quickly forgotten after release on account of its less than stellar quality. Looking back, I think the KOTOR games and Jade Empire were actually its best single-player exclusives. Halo was the best for multiplayer, especially the campaign co-op in the first game.
